process-dir

Quick start

npm i @toolia/process-dir

const processRecursively = require("@toolia/process-dir").default;

processRecursively(inputDirectory, (filename, { level, fullPath, stats}) => /* your code */ )

What is this

This function recursively reads out the paths of files/subdirectories within a given directory.

You are given nested level, fullPath, and fs stats in the callback, for each file/folder found.

Therefore, you could do some processing on recursive files/folders using this tool.

Example

• Find example in ./example/process-dir.js

const processRecursively = require("@toolia/process-dir").default;

processRecursively(process.cwd(), (filename, { level, fullPath, stats }) => {
  const isFile = stats.isFile();
  const isJsonFile = isFile && filename.endsWith(".json");
  let msg = "-".repeat(level) + filename;
  console.log(msg);
  //do what you want using fullPath to reference each file / folder.
});

See node.js fs stats

CLI version

You can use this as a command line tool:

npm i @toolia/process-dir -g

process-dir

Specify arguments with --argumentName=argumentValue

For example:

process-dir --directory="some/subdirectory"

You can leave directory empty and it will default to the current working directory of the node script.

List of arguments with defaults:

--help=false
--directory=
--maxLevel=128
--skipDirectories=true
--logJSON=false
--logProcessing=false

Todo:

• Improve CLI version.

• Write tests

• Fix an error "Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory" in rare cases.
